@youronlyone I think you might be right, though: maybe it's only really an issue in English (or at least, in the West, because Afrikaans [the only other language I'm really familiar with, sorry] some also talk about "Drie-uur in the aand" [three o'clock at night], while others talk of "Drie uur in die oggend" [three o'clock in the morning]). :-)
